Latest Spoken Label (Author Chat Podcast) is perhaps our

strangest to date features Kateryna Kei talking about a real

life mystery of a book behind Casey Adams and a journal he

left behind at the Hague Hotel.

The book is described as "

Imagine stumbling upon someone’s stolen diary while traveling in a foreign country.

Imagine reading it and falling in love with the story within – a deeply moving story that someone lived through and wrote down to never forget.

Imagine spending months looking for the author of that diary, retracing his steps and meeting people he met on the way…

If you have ever stayed in a hostel, making connections with many different people only to never speak with them again, Casey Adams’s story will resonate with you. It will make you reappraise these brief encounters that always transform us in some way.

Let this hand-written diary take you on a unique immersive experience…

Kateryna herself is the Author of the books "Raven Boy" and

"Two Parts of a Soul" and her bio advises "I love stories. Real or imaginary, sad or happy, containing life lessons or simply entertaining, stories make our whole life, we are stories."

The Hague Hostel is available on Amazon at:
